How each value is worked out
Which tithi is on Sat 21 Dec? Shukla Dwitiya
At sunrise the Moon led the Sun by 20.2°: Shukla Dwitiya.
The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 08:19 here. Pratipada ended at 18:26 Fri, before it. Dwitiya ends at 14:48, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 19 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.
What time is Brahma Muhurta on Sat 21 Dec? 06:22–07:20
Brahma Muhurta is the 14th of 15 equal parts of the night before sunrise: 06:22–07:20.

Which choghadiya is good on Sat 21 Dec?
08:19–09:29 is Kala, ruled by Shani (Saturn), the 1st of 8 equal parts of Saturday's daylight, counted bad.

Which nakshatra is it on Sat 21 Dec? Purva Ashadha
At sunrise the Moon was at 266.2°: Purva Ashadha, pada 4.
The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 263°20′. It leaves at 09:07, for Uttara Ashadha.
Which yoga is it on Sat 21 Dec? Dhruva
At sunrise the Sun and Moon together made 512.2°, one turn and 152.2°: Dhruva.
Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 246° + 266.2° = 512.2°, one full turn and 152.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 20:06, then Vyaghata.
Which karana is it on Sat 21 Dec? Kaulava
At sunrise the lead was 20.2°: the second half of Dwitiya, Kaulava.
A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 04:34, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 14:48.
Which vara is Sat 21 Dec, and from when? Shaniwara
This day began at sunrise, 08:19 on Saturday: Shaniwara.
A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 08:19 to 08:20 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.
Which Hindu month is Sat 21 Dec in (amanta)? Pausha
This month began at the new moon of 19 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu: Pausha.
An amanta month runs from new moon to new moon and takes its name from the rashi the Sun is in at the new moon that begins it: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 13 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 18 Jan, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.
Which Hindu month is Sat 21 Dec in (purnimanta)? Pausha
Counted full moon to full moon, this waxing half belongs to Pausha.
A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 19 Dec, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.
Which samvat year is Sat 21 Dec in? Vikram 2025 · Shaka 1890
Vikram Samvat 2025 began at the Chaitra new moon of 29 Mar 1968.
A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 29 Mar 1968, 02:47 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 261.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2025; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1890.
